IMBY Suikerfeest ontmoet Nowruz

Arabic and Persian cultures have existed side by side for centuries. It is not often that their celebrations are observed together. In a time of growing polarization, we actively seek connection with one another. With IMBY, we know this is possible. This year offers a beautiful opportunity for connection: Nowruz and Suikerfeest/Eid al-Fitr fall almost at the same time. That is why we are celebrating these two holidays side by side—and together—in the cozy Tuinhuis at Tolhuistuin.

During this IMBY celebration, you will be introduced to both cultures and can taste a variety of traditional treats associated with these festivities. We will provide music and short performances throughout the afternoon. There will be games and coloring activities for children. For mothers, there will be a small surprise, as March 21 is Mother’s Day in the Middle East and marks the beginning of spring!

About our event partners

IN MY BACKYARD is een meerjarig programma van Stichting Warm Welkom. We staan voor verbinding en ontmoeting buiten je eigen bubbel om nieuwkomers zich sneller thuis te laten voelen. Dit doen we door een netwerk te bouwen van buurtgroepen met nieuwkomers en local Amsterdammers. Dit event is voor iedereen die open staat voor andere culturen en kennis wil maken met de community van IMBY. Vanuit alle stadsdelen helpen leden van IMBY mee om dit mogelijk te maken.
